Kasich cracks top 10 of The Hill's list of most likely to win GOP nomination

Niall Stanage, a reporter with The Hill, is reporting that with just one month to go before the first debate in Cleveland, the top Republicans most likely to get the 2016 presidential nomination are former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Kasich comes in at 10.

"Kasich will likely be the final major figure to join the GOP field, with an announcement expected on July 21. His boosters believe he can carve out a niche as a governor of a large, important state with bipartisan appeal — in essence, a candidate with Christie’s upside and none of the downside.

The bad news: Getting in late to a crowded field is fraught with difficulty — especially if your national profile is modest at best. Kasich has some political strengths, but will voters care? He barely registers in the polls for now."
